ESPACIO Y ESTRUCTURA: EL DOBLE REGISTRO DE LA VIVIENDA CONTEMPORÁNEA MULTIFUNCIONAL

SPACE AND STRUCTURE: THE DOUBLE REGISTER OF CONTEMPORARY MULTIFUNCTIONAL HOUSING DESIGN The residential architecture of recent years has introduced an advanced experimentation around typological hybridization: in many recent European examples this line of research has focused in the assembly of different residential typologies - partly inherited from tradition - innervated by distribution systems revisited and often associated with alternative use (commercial, services, public spaces). The double register that follows from the coexistence of the different functions and their assembly provides the ability to design innovative spatial articulations, explained by different scales, where the principle of repetition of the single dwelling is opposed to the specific and exceptional dimensions of public spaces. The same rule of assembly the functions - for overlay, juxtaposition, sequence or intersection - gives rise to an interesting challenge both from the architectural point of view, both from the constructive structure, an organism that can
